Natalies Sweater


Another Project Completed ......... :)
This is My Grandaughter Natalies Sweater... It is a Sirdar Pattern and I used Lilac Simply Soft..
I combined two sizes for this sweater... Using directions for size 7-8 and 9-10 because the pattern called for a DK weight yarn and I used a light worsted... By mixing the sizes I think it will fit her just right.. Natalie is Seven years Old !!! ((( Hum??? Now I hope Grandma is right about her age) Its so hard to keep up with them, they are growing so Fast!!!
I wanted you to see the edging so I put the shirt under it... This was the first time I did the edge and it worked out well...
My Friends Dorethea and Evelyn picked me up yesterday to go to Lunch and to A.C. Moore....
I knitted in the car during the tripo so I could finish up this sweater....
My Plan was to get this done Sooooooooooooo I could buy more Yarn for some New Projects !!!!
LOL.... HUH ??? What did you say????? No.. I don't have too much yarn....They all have their own purpose.. I just have to figure out what that is and then Knit Real Fast!!!

All Right... Now I can show you the Stash Enhancement I did this week... ha ha ha

Ahhhhhhhhhh


This is Todays Lovely Bag of String !!!
Dorethea made the mistake of telling me yesterday that a local yarn shop is closing... So naturally I had to go and check it out....
I didn't do too bad... Take a Peek in My Bag !!!They had everything for 50% Off !!! Now.. Tell me.. Could YOU resist such a Bargin ???? I already have "Plans" for each glorious skein of yarn here...

:)


This Trip was made on Wednesday when I had Lunch with other Knitting Buddies... Diana and Mary!!!
I tell ya.. These girls just get me in trouble all the time... I certainly had no intentions of buying yarn.... even tho we did go to the yarn store.. I was only going to " Browse"
And "Yes" I already have "plans" for this pile of yarn also!!!!!

Stash :)


This is My pile from A.C. Moore..... Hey.. Come on... Most of it was on Sale.... Well.. Some of it was !!!
But I do know what I am going to make with them.. really I Do !!!
All I need to do now is plug in some Turbo Needles and Knit..Knit.. Knit..
Watch.. You'll see.. I'll get this stuff made up into something in Record Time :)

What ??? Who said I am and obsessive Knitter???? :)

WHAT ????????????


Oh .. Come On Now Interweave Knits... What are they Thinking???
This has got to be on The Most Ugliest Knitted 'Thing" List!!!!
I can't decide what it reminds me of ??????
But it certainly is not something I would wear out in Public!!!
What do You Think ????........... OK......... It was just suggested to me that perhaps this is supposed to be a " Boob Warmer".... Now surely That Must be it !!!!

Next weekend I need to have Two Baby Gifts and yesterday I went up in the attic to check my sweaters and suddenly realized that I did not bring the right sweaters home here from Florida !!! yikes.... Thats when the Panic Mode set in !!!!! Now What am I going to give ??? Can you imagine that with all the baby things I make I now do not have anything to give for a Gift ??
Ok Ok.... Pick out something from your Favorite Patterns... Fumble my way thru the stash in the attic and come up with something nice to make, right !!
One tiny skein of yarn that I just HAD to use was missing... Oh No !!! I also left THAT in Florida... no ..no... It can't be ... I KNOW I hid that somewhere in my luggage **#@#$%^$#!!!
My Daughter told me to pray this little prayer about ... I lost something that must be Found... After searching for an hour I started to re search saying her prayer... Guess What ?? I FOUND that one tiny skein of yarn !!! :)
OK.. So now.. I need to make Two Gifts in 6 Days !!!!
Last night I plugged in My Turbo needle ( yea, right)... LOL... and this is the First one I started !!! Time for Some Speed Knitting!!!

Green


Finished The Green Spiral Socks pretty Quickly :)
Its been awhile since I made socks... Sort of had to relearn how to avoid those sharp points on the dpns that just seem to want to stab the heck out of my wrists !!! But I made it thru without too many wounds !!!

Cozy Feet


Its kinda hard to see how they will look on a Baby's feet without a Baby to try them on... so it was all up to Snuggles to show ya !!!

The Sock


Whats That Growing in My Bushes ??? :)

Green... Green... Green !!! Spring is Here on Long Island !!!!

The Beginning of a Baby Sock that My Daughter requested...
She asked for " Canned Pea " Green But the closest I had was this lime green... I think its just as pretty !!! April seems to associate her colors with Vegetables.... Maybe because she is a vegetarian ???
Her other Greens are... Frozen Pea Green and Grass Green :)
I have not found them in a yarn color either !!!!
